Interest in wood stoves and fireplaces is increasing in Sweden. Not only because it is cozy to sit with the family in front of the fire but also because it is an efficient way to heat your home. Installing a fireplace is also a secure investment as it increases the value of your property, in case of a possible sale.
A survey conducted among Swedish real estate agents shows that almost all of them believe that the value of a house increases by up to 10 percent after installing a fireplace. Considering that a wood stove or fireplace costs between 15,000 and 35,000 kronor, it is definitely a very good investment.
In addition to increasing the value of your home, the wood-burning stoves contributes to more efficient thermal energy savings. When the heat mainly comes from the fireplace instead of the power grid, electricity consumption is reduced in many cases. Heating a house is for many people the biggest energy consumption, especially during winter. The wood that the stove requires is usually much cheaper than the corresponding amount of electricity, and therefore it quickly becomes a net profit. If you also fill your wood stove with soapstone, you get an even and pleasant heat that lasts longer.
The electricity in your home is affected by external factors such as natural disasters. With a wood-burning cooker in your home, you can protect yourself and your family from the cold even during power outages. When a bad storm hit Sweden, many households lost power for several weeks. Another recent event was the large forest fires that damaged the power grid. If you have a wood-burning cooker, you guarantee continued heat supply to your home and the ability to cook, even if you are without electricity for a longer period.
Finally, you should not forget the coziness factor. A wood-burning stove naturally becomes a gathering place in the home for the whole family. The fire encourages conversations between loved ones in a unique way. You would surely agree that it would be nice to take a break from mobile phones and tablets for a while to instead spend time on the couch in front of the warmth?
If you are considering investing in a wood-burning cooker or a wood burning stove, you can feel confident that it will be a good investment. It is a secure way to increase the value of your home while reducing your electricity costs. And do not forget the security and togetherness with your very own fire.
